July 29: Applications in R Webinar

[Reposting to update with the new date for the webinar: Tuesday July 29.]

Just a quick heads-up that I'll be presenting with Neera Talbert (VP Professional Services, Revolution Analytics) in a free webinar on Tuesday, July 29 on Applications in R: Success and Lessons Learned from the Marketplace. I'll describe several R applications from well-known companies (some of which can be seen in the presentation I gave at the China R User Conference), and Neera will present a few case studies of how the Revolution Analytics consulting group has helped companies using R in areas such supply chain analytics, sensor data analysis, and R package validation and certification. Here's the abstract for the webinar:

Applications in R - Success and Lessons Learned from the Marketplace

Adoption of the R language has grown rapidly in the last few years, and is ranked as the number-one data science language in several surveys. This accelerating R adoption curve has been driven by the Big Data revolution, and the fact that so many data scientists — having learned R at university — are actively unlocking the secrets hidden in these new, vast data troves.

In this webinar David Smith, Chief Community Officer, will take a look at the growth of R and the innovative uses of R in business, government and non-profit sectors. Then Neera Talbert, Vice President, Professional Services will take you into the trenches of recent customer deployments and share best practices and pitfalls to avoid in deploying or expanding your own R applications.

You can sign up for the webinar (with live Q&A with me and Neera) at the link below, which will also automatically send a link to the slides and replay when they're available after the live presentation.
